Which party dress would you wear?

Picture this: You're going to a holiday cocktail party, and your adorable crush will be there. You brush your hair, spritz on perfume, and your cheeks are already rosy. The big question is: What will you wear?

I love the black dress you show first, but I think I'd go with the purple wrap dress. Every time I go to a reunion, almost everyone is wearing black. I think wearing a color can make you stand out rather than blend in. And while I think the last dress is really striking, I am not sure that most men I know would find it appealing. (I'm pretty sure my husband would say things like "weird" and "trying too hard.") If this is a theoretical "look good for your crush" dress, then that's got to be a factor in my decision making.

All adorable. I like the first one. But my question is this. I live in the midwest, which means the weather for any holiday party I'm invited to is always impossibly cold and/or incliment--surely the same in NYC. That being said, do you just suck it up and bare those legs/toes arms/shoulders and say the hell with it? I always struggle with that, and as a result usually wear pants!

While the black dress is very fun and sort of a more classic holiday look with the sparkles, the pink dress is so pretty and sometimes in the dead of winter you need a little pop of pink as a pick me up!

The first one would be my natural go-to pick because I love wearing little black dresses. However, if I was feeling like I wanted to spice things up a bit - I would go with the last one - I love the short hot pink silk, the simplicity is stunning and I love the subtle detail of how the fabric is cut and lays.Much love,B

Joanna, I love these posts so much. They break up the current monotony of my day. And I'd probably go with the first or last as well. I love how one scream holidays, but I love shift dresses and the slit makes for an interesting surprise.

I love the black one SO much and it is festive and fancy and the second becauste it has a neckline which is sexy, but you don't need cleavage to pull it off. (I have good shoulders, but small boobsl!). Love those first 2!!

I love the first one, but I would never be comfortable in that all night - especially at a party where I'd want to eat appetizers and drink booze! My go-to holiday dress style is sleeveless, v-neck, fitted top, empire waist so the bottom flows and you don't have to suck in all night!

The first one, definitely! So classy! You could totally pull that of Joanna. Not so sure I could. Luckily, or I would have to consider buying it, and it is kind of pricy. But a classic, you could wear it for years to come! Go for it! :)

The first one wins it for me. Normally, I think black dresses drain me as I have dark hair and dark eyes, but the glitter and cut is amazing. The pink dress is an amazing colour but the length is a little short. I realise that's the point but for me I'd not have hardly a smidge of self consciousness in the black dress.

I'd love to wear the black glitter dress (beautiful!), but, more realistically, I'd probably go for the wrap dress, which is a very flattering cut and can be dressed up or down. It would depend on the occasion. I'd love to have an occasion that calls for the shiny one!

i would love the one-shouldered dress. it's so cute! it'd be something a little different than i'd normally go for, but a fun pick me up for this mommy. who wouldn't have a blast at a party in such a fun dress!

These are ALL gorgeous! The only one I wouldn't wear is the flapper-inspired dress. It's gorgeous, but so long it would probably make my petite 5'3" frame a whole foot shorter. I like clothes that add the illusion of height.

I would wear the black one (after loosing a little more post-pregnancy weight.) I think, the blue wrap dress would be very flattering and look best on me, but I feel that "the ex" (or men in general) might not find it as appealing as the little black piece. Also, knowing the "ex's taste" would play a big role. :)

P.S. Hm, what a strange comment above about "all the clothes on your blog is for thin people". It's your blog - you can write about whatever is interesting to you.

This post couldn't have come at a better time, I'm desperately trying to find the perfect holiday dress for a party in a couple of weeks. I'm going to hunt down that last one ! I love how it's classic, yet unexpected at the same time !
